However she is more than happy for him and Pepin, seeing Max as one of her closest friends beyond her family. Life Story Violette was a child of merriment and whimsy. As a child Lottie was quite the wild card, however this was beaten out of her by her father and was controlled by her mother. During her childhood Violette was very close towards her mother seeing her as a deity wandering the world, she learned many things from her mother, as the violin, embroidery and sewing. Violette also made friends with a girl named Lenore which she grew close into her teen years, until her father put an end to their friendship. At the age of eight Violette took a pair of scissors and chopped off half of her hair. Once her father saw this display in the family’s lounge he charged in and yanked her up by the remaining parts of her hair. During this point he was quite drunk and wasn’t thinking straight, he couldn’t help but to begin to beat poor Violette who was just playing around trying to be more like her brother. She thought if maybe she cut her hair, her father would love her like he did Alistair but she got a different reaction then she thought she was going to receive. Instead of the loving embrace was backhand across the cheek and the yanking of hair. Violette’s mother heard the shrieks of the young girl and stormed into the room, trying to pry her drunken father off of her. Donatienne got a few frim smacks across her face as well, before he drunkenly stomped out of the room. Violette’s mother sat her down, and placed her head in her lap, as she gingerly stroked it. She began to tell her that there is nothing wrong with being an elegant, poised lady. And told her not everyone was going to like her, even if that meant her own father. Her mother began to wipe her tears away as she brought her to face-level. “Dearie. My sweet-sweet Lottie. You are going to grow into a beautiful marigold, one that will captivate all inches of the sun.” Violette has gathered marigolds and place them on her bed stand every night. Through her teen years Violette began to indulge in makeup and gown which will be carried on to her life now. She held her first dinner party with relatives and made a proper young lady out of herself. Afterwards her mother told her how proud she was of her, and gave her the pearl necklace which had been a family heirloom. Violette promised her mother that she will always try to surprise her to where she would be proud, and her mother chuckled giving her a firm embrace. To Violette’s /own/ surprise, this was one of the last hugs she would receive from her mother. As Lottie’s mother grew more ill by the days, so did Violette’s heart. Violette would often pick flowers and sketch in her book to show her mother as she sat by her bedside. Lottie would sometimes sit and play her violin to her mother. Her and her mother’s favorite song was ‘The melody of the meadows’, and Violette played it for her whenever she could. Days came to pass to the few that were left, and on one of these days, Violette sat at her mother’s beside, cradling her cold hand in hers. Donatienne grinned on that day and told Violette, “What a beautiful young lady you have grown to be—just like your mother.” She chuckled, and so did Violette but Lottie had tears welding up in her eyes and her mother drifted off to sleep. She stayed with her for a while laying her head on her mother’s chest, softly weeping. Donatienne passed away three days after, causing Violette to go into mourning, she spent more money on the mourning gown for her mother’s funeral than any other attire she had ever worn. She carried a marigold during the whole ceremony. After her mother’s death, Violette left her home as she couldn’t stay there without profusely crying through the day. She went to study fashion in Daenshore, and lived in a luxuriant cottage there for five years. She received a letter from Alistair informing of her father’s death, but she didn’t leave to attend his ceremony. Violette came to Regalia to rejoin her brother and her dear cousins whom she loved more than anything. And has resided in the local estate ever since. Regalia: TBA
